/**
 * <p>A <code>Request</code> is an abstract description of tests to be run. Older versions of
 * JUnit did not need such a concept--tests to be run were described either by classes containing
 * tests or a tree of {@link  org.junit.Test}s. However, we want to support filtering and sorting,
 * so we need a more abstract specification than the tests themselves and a richer
 * specification than just the classes.</p>
 *
 * <p>The flow when JUnit runs tests is that a <code>Request</code> specifies some tests to be run ->
 * a {@link org.junit.runner.Runner} is created for each class implied by the <code>Request</code> ->
 * the {@link org.junit.runner.Runner} returns a detailed {@link org.junit.runner.Description}
 * which is a tree structure of the tests to be run.</p>
